In recent days, Italian journalist and well-known Scuderia Ferrari insider Leo Turrini posted an invitation on his blog for readers to ask him questions about anything related to the Ferrari world. Questions to which the journalist, on the same platform, provided very interesting answers. Here’s one concerning former team principal Mattia Binotto.
Leo Turrini outspokenly states: “Binotto is a capable guy, although…”
“In France, they say Mattia Binotto already has an agreement with Alpine. I wouldn’t be surprised, and I’ve written about it,” Leo Turrini responds to a Formula 1 fan who asks for his opinion on the rumors suggesting the engineer from Lausanne is on the verge of joining the French team. “I’ve known Mattia for almost 30 years. He’s a capable guy, perhaps hindered by an excess of self-esteem. He had the Ferrari in his hands for several years; it was his realized dream. However, other dreams have failed, sometimes due to his own responsibilities. He made mistakes, but he wasn’t always helped. He trusted the wrong friends, and his communication skills were a disaster. Some of his statements are vengeful,” emphasizes the journalist.
However, he also wants to conclude by saying: “To avoid misunderstandings, he’s a capable person. If he finds a mentor in Luca De Meo at Renault and learns to listen more, he could accomplish great things.” – Leo Turrini concluded.
